| id suggestcanon ixus'!! some people have commented .. saying that they have issues but we have had plenty from the canon ixus range and swear by them!! they create a very good quality image and are small, light weightand durable!usually about £200 but are worth the money!! i think in the family we have 4 of them because we all go off and do our own thing and all of them have been great!! |

For anybody after a cheap camera, I can recommend a Samsung S600, they only cost about 80 quid.
I was really happy with quality of pics when I used one in Mexico.

another bit of advice if you are shooting action shots...does it have a "burst" facility?
I find with digital there is a delay before the picture is taken and you sometimes miss the shot where with a burst you can take a series and start before your subject launches themselves towards the heavens/falls on their face |

| I got an Exilim and can say it takes fantastic shots in most conditions, especially in the snow. Plus it has very little shutter lag so you tend to get a shot of someone boarding rather than a photo of where someone was boarding about 2 seconds ago. Plus they have a multiple photo mode which can give some cool effects if you want take pictures of people doing tricks. |

if you look around you can find the sony memory cards as cheap really, i bought mine (SONY 1GB High Speed Memory Stick PRO Duo) from digitalperspectivedirect for £16.99. Bargain! Which is £70 in places like dixons! its scandalous...
http://digitalperspective.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=8
Websites that specialise in selling the phones that take these cards also tend to be cheaper too, they just wouldnt deliver quick before christmas with me organising it too late  |

Mr Blake, reviews relating to those cameras can be found on www.dpreview.com. It's worth noting there are newer and better models out now for both Sony and Canon.
I don't think you can go wrong with either of the latest Canon's or Sony's. Just depends on your preference regarding the user interface. I prefer Sony, but that's just me.
One negative point regarding the sony is the memory stick is still more expensive than the compariable SD used in the Canon. |

| I'll vouch for the canon battery life which I have only ever managed to flatten once on my ixus 750 which took me several hundred photos on three consecutive dives to acheive. |

If Pentax have sorted out the battery life then I would agree it's a great camera, that was its only downfall from previous models, unless you invest into some good lithium batteries as they drain very quickly, I changed my camera to the Canon Ixus Wireless which is sweet and the Battery life is such a difference from the Pentax!  |

| I bought my fella a sony cybershot t10 recently and its a cracking little camera..plus it has a huge screen on the back and some special anti shake feature (great when youre freezin your a**e off/drunk/both). And has a long battery life which is good for goin out in the cold as that wears the batteries down quicker! |

I'd second the Pentax optio recomendation...... we use then on board lifeboats and they take a hell of a pounding, wet etc.
Picture quality is supurb and they are simple to use (important for me!) |
